Obama works on fitness, quitting smoking

So, Bethany, and all others who are dying to know what this man has to say, here's a sneak peak.

Obama reports that he works out for 45 minutes, six days a week. Sometimes it's a squeeze to get his workout in, and he admits there are times when sleep trumps time at the gym. When he does make it to the gym, he goes before he starts his work day. And while there, the 47-year-old lifts one day and does cardio the next. Obama's wish -- besides scoring that job as President of the United States -- is that his exercise sessions were longer. A 90-minute workout would be ideal.

In other health news, Obama shares that he has not completely kicked his smoking habit: "There have been a couple of times during the campaign when I fell off the wagon and bummed one, and I had to kick it again," he says. He's cutting himself some slack, though -- you know, with all the high pressure stuff he's involved in -- but he does know what tricks he and other quitters should embrace: Eliminate "certain key connections," he says, like that first cigarette in the morning, after a meal, or with a drink.
